The brugs are growing well, but there hasn't been a hint that any are going to bloom. Lots of growth on a lot of things. Currently the big splash of blooms are the daylilies.

And the always winter-abused Hoya has recovered in a sensational way. I've never seen anything close to the number of blooms and soon-to-blooms. I'm amazed every time I look at it Green Grin! .

I think the Fennel is nice right now, too. So do a large number of insects. Those blooms attract a variety of flies and wasp, moths and butterflies. I guess I can have my own homegrown Fennel seeds if the black swallowtail caterpillars don't eat the stalks off.

There are a couple of red Mandevillas blooming, but they should get a lot better a bit later.
